DistributionPhenologyReporting RatePhotos
Widespread across Kent, this highly distinctive moth (not really that easy to confuse with Puss Moth, but if you squinted it might be possible) can be seen in reasonable numbers from some sites.
The larvae will overwinter for a couple of years prior to pupation.
Grade 1 — adults are generally distinctive and unlikely to be confused with other species, but records outside documented range or flight period may require photos.
